[argyllcms] Re: dispcal: Warning - RegOpenKeyEx failed with 2

OK I've tried to load the LUT's with dispwin using "-d" 1 and 2....but
when I turn on the computer only the CRT is connected on the primary
VGA head, then later on when I plug the projector and switch....the
secondary DVI head becomes "display 1"....there can't be that many #1 :)

as long as the 2 displays are running at the same time permanently, 
everything's fine.

so
I guess there's no way to force the LUT loading within the 2 videocard
heads independently of their DISPLAY number....and that's why the
windows ICM tool also failed.

any insight would be much appreciated ;)

Hi Graeme, 

thanks for the reply.

well x= red and y = green, no ?

I should ignore the realtime measures and only do as said with the R++ G-- B+ 
instructions ?

but sometimes B is higher than the "ideal" measure to reach and it still says 
"B+" ?!

let me rephrase "If I lower the green contrast on my DLP projector , then "y" 
increases in the ARGYLL precalibration measures ?!"

my projector has no setting for the primaries, only brightness/contrast for 
R/G/B

in my set up, the command line window doesn't need to be on top....only the 
calibration window but I'll play around with dispwin then
